I think the key point to it is that it’s the region of Waterloo that’s doing it. This is not something that’s a provincial strategy that is doing it.

And when we take a look at what the research institutes are talking about, this is how we’re going to get to those goals that we’re talking about of increasing our exports by 30%. When we invest in research, when we do the things that we need to do to make sure that we’re increasing capacity on all of those different areas of agriculture, that is what is going to get us there. Those are the things that are going to help Ontario grow that way.

It has been said multiple times: “Good things grow in Ontario.” And the reason that good things grow in Ontario is because we’ve got some of the brightest minds doing the research that we need to do to increase that capacity, to increase the capabilities. With the changes in this legislation, we’re making sure that all of that good research is coming to those farmers who want it at their fingertips, at the speed of business itself.

But what specifically this bill is going to do for us is find efficiencies in how we can do things in agriculture. It means that crop of land, that acre of land, will be more productive than it was. And when we look at how farms have changed over history since Canada’s inception, the 40-acre, 50-acre farm that was producing a small amount that was good for a family or two—we’ve seen a significant change in the amount of products that can come from that single acre, and that is all because of the research that has happened.

Either municipalities have the autonomy to do the things that they should do or should not do, make the decisions themselves, have the people who live in those regions then talk to others within the region and make the decision on whether or not the people who they elected actually are representing them or not, and move forward with it—but instead, she wants to suck and blow at the same time. You can’t have a vacuum that sucks and blows. I’m sorry. It doesn’t work that way. You have to have—
